NGC3324 The Gabriela Mistral Nebula

[ChrisD]

I have a problem with Pixinsight and I've finally given up.

I'm using pixinsight for everything up until stretching but from that point on with pixinsight I don't get results I'm happy with. So I'm now using a combination of DxO Photolab 8 and Affinity Photo2 for post stretch finishing. So much easier and repeatable.

Anyway this is my first post since using the new process.

6h 53m of 60 second OSC subs from a Player One Poseidon-C Pro.
Celestron C8, Starizona SCT Corrector IV, ZWO AM5 mount.

Oh, I intentionally left the inner stars a little blown out to match the regional brightness. Just a personal choice.

Wow, nearly 7 hours of data yields great results.
I never have repeatable use since my mount is never in the same place twice and while I can learn how to rotate images to match them up I have to learn it every time I want to use it.
Once I get my pier in, maybe in 10 years (pier hopefully within the next week), hopefully I'll drop dead before 10 years and won't have to care.
